'After thestrips of wood here' been prepared they are exposed to the action of the moldingcutter G, which is mounted on shaftfG, on the top ol the frame Aloud to which the requisite motion is imparted from the driving-shaft B in anydesirahle marmer.

The platform of the frame A forms@ hed'to support the moldings while the seme ere edt and covered with the desired preparation. This bed is provided with e slot, e, right over a belt, I, which is stretched from 'a drum, f. mounted on an arbor in the end oi th'eireme A, es clearly shown in Fig. 1 of ti'ie'drziwings. Secured to this belt area. series of hooks, g, at such distances apart as the length of the -moldings may requireind they arei'astened insuch a manner that they een easily be taken oiaud adjusted to suit did'erent lengths of moldings.

As the pulleyf revolves in the direction i of the arrow marked on it the hooks on the belt travel along in the slot e, projecting above the platform of the frame? and the moldings piece-d 'thereon are pushed through under the box H, 'which contains the preparation, and uiiderthe.

levelerJ, which isintended tosmooth the prepa-- ration as the same diseherges from the box El". ou the surface of the molding.

The hex H is made cylindrical, and it may loe matie with double Walls, forming e steed?- jaelr'etowherehy the preparation can ce kept -hotier simple sindy efiicieht meneer or seid hexL ahoy be heated by my other desirable ineens.r ltis supported eerossher, it, which slides op sind ,doweor standards 'i risicgiom the frame A, and seid standards are provided.

through this spout and slot the preparation. posses down upon the surface of the moldihg.

A suitable stop-cock, l, in the discharge-spout serves to' regulate the' diseharge. The outer' end of the dscharge-spout'is provided with a tubular attechmenh l', the 'ende of which are closed by plugs l. so that by removing oneor' .both of seid plugs easy access ceo be had to the interior for .the purpose of cleaning it out.

effective manner.

By means otthese plugs the width. of the discharge-opening is regulatedto suit the vwidth of different moldings.

The leveler consists of an L-shaped piece of brass, the upright shank of which is rmly v screwed to the cross-barmsliding up and down v and it is obvious that for diterent moldings pdtfereut levelers have to be used.

edge is protected by a plate, o, ot' iron or steel, which is secured to the pright shank of the Its outer leveler by screws o passing through oblong slots, so that said plate can be adjusted up and down.. The inner end ot' the working-face of the leveler, or that part nearest to the box H,

is inclined upward, beginning at the middle or about one-third of the length of said face, and by these means the preparation, on passing down from the box H into the slot lc,\is revolved over and over as it comes in contact with the longitudinal sliding surface of the molding, and it (the preparation) is thereby kneaded and rendered soft and fiexi ble, so that it applies itself evenly to the surface of the molding. By the action of the leveler the preparationis pressed down evenly, land the plate o, attached to its end, serves to preserve the shape of the molding, and it brings out sharpcorners in the preparation. i

A set-screw, q, which bears on the sliding cross-bar m, serves to force the leveler down on its work with the requisite pressure. By this arrangement I am enabled to apply the preparation to moldings of any desired width 5 and, if desired, double moldings may be prepared simultaneously and split while being prepared. This latterobject is effected bythe attachment of a splitter, L, which is secured to the sliding cross-bar m by the same screw which holds the leveler, or in any other desirable manner. By pressing the cutter-edge of of this splitter gradually down by means of thehand-screw m, while the molding is moved along by the belt I, said molding is 'split throughout its entire length in asimple and While passing through under the leveler and splitter the molding is held in the proper position by guide-bars s, which are adjustable to suit moldings of different widths by set-screws t, as shown in Fig. 2.

If desired, a'second carrying-belt may be applied on the opposite end ofthe frame A to move the moldings back; and by removing the leveler and applying in its place a polishingpad such 'as shown in Figs. 4 and 5 of the drawings the surface ot' the molding, after it has been stained, can be polished in a simple manner.

It will be noticed that the leveler J takes the place of the pumice-stone generally used to smooth down the preparation, and by combining this leveler with the hand-screw q the surface can be rendered perfectly smooth and even. It is also of great advantage to have the box H, containing ,the preparation, vertically adjustable, so that the same can be ac commodated to different positions of the leveler and to different thicknesses of moldings.

This machine combines every device requisite to manufacture moldings and frames, from beginning to end7 and by its use much time and labor are saved.

Havi-ngthus described myinvention,I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The hand-screw q, applied in combination with the leveler J and belt I, substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

2. The tubular attachment l to the discharge-spout j ot' the box containing the prepa` ration, in combination with adjusting-plugs l, constructed and operating substantially as and( for the purpose set forth. g

3. The vertically-adjustable box I-I, applied independently of the leveler J and acting in` conjunction with the same, substantially as GUSTAVE HENZE.
